What do blind people use for tape measures these days? Is the talking one from Cobalt still the one to get, or is there something else a bit more mainstream?

@TheBreadmonkey I dunno about you but if I tell even the smallest lie it immediately shows on my face that I'm lying. I might as well have an LCD screen on my forehead that flashes up "Kara has just lied. This is not a drill".

You know, Ben I'm not sure I've ever really thought about that. I think part of the reason (maybe entirely the reason?) is because I'm not sure I really have any kinks at all. Do I? Maybe? I don't think so. I think I'm probably kind of vanilla in that regard.
Anyway, the idea of a kink that is "wrong"?... like illegal? Not even remotely in my radar. Like, I know there are people who are into rape fantasy. And I guess it's possible to let a partner know that's what you're into and they have permission to fulfill that on any given day or night but beyond that? Maybe I'm just too unimaginative. But illegal stuff, pain, doing it in public, at the office, peeing on me... *slowly shakes me head* Nope. Doesn't do a thing for me. If anything, completely turns me off.
To be fair, I suppose there are some heteronormative, very straight people who would think having sex with me, a trans girl, falls into a kink. Nooo. That's kinda weird to ponder. I could be someone's kink. 😳
So I didn't really think of trans sex as a 'wrong' category but I guess that might fall into some people's red zones (NOT LIKE THAT). I suppose sexy time with trans people must fall into outlier territory with heteronormies. It's not something I've particularly explored in my old brainium, but that wasn't what I was aiming for. I've definitely talked here before about being surprised at being attracted to some trans peeps - not as an oddity but because I'd not really been exposed to it (not like that) before, so it was interesting to be to find my internal world challenged a bit. This feels like I'm intellectually trying to chat you up. Sorry. BUT ALSO NOT SORRY YOU'RE BLOODY GORGEOUS. Sorry I'm just messing about a bit. I don't mean to be a creep. Xx

“The promise of generative AI is that it can think for us. That is a truly fascist idea, the idea of outsourcing thinking; and so our power is in our ability to think with each other. To generate genuinely new ideas.” —Naomi Klein
In order not to become digital serfs we have to ‘“think with each other”. It may not be on blogs but we have to find ways to connect human-to-human, without a disembodied AI-bot telling us what to do.

ICE Keeps Killing Immigrants in Cars It Claims Were "Weaponized" Against Agents
J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.
Let that sink in.
1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.
2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.
That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.

It's a strange feeling to get an official diagnosis of autism after years suspecting it was a thing. Your girl's been blessed with the super hat-trick of the frequently co-occurring:

Canonically Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant are time lords, and their TARDIS is bigger on the inside.
Top is the outside of their trailer, bottom is a scene just seconds after on the inside of the same trailer.
That explains a lot.
